I really hate seeing people throw thousands & thousands of dollars away at these seminars.  I am so glad you trusted your gut feeling & cancelled.  I have been to one & they are full of hype, music, gets you all pumped up!  However, many times you either end up buying tons of material that you can grab online for free, or worse yet...they try to sell you a turnkey property that you may not be ready for at this particular moment.

Now, I am good with turnkey properties, they are good, but do your investigation & ask questions. If you are looking at a turnkey company, investigate that company!  There are good ones & there are bad ones.  If they are willing to spend time with you, if they are willing to show you houses, if they are willing to assist you on all levels...education being key.... Check out the zip codes, surrounding areas, check out the City.  Remember this is an investment so follow your gut & your feelings.  If you feel pushed or pressured in any way...then I would ask why.

Financing...this is a huge one.  When financing you can have up to 10 loans (including your primary resident) through traditional financing, however, it might be better to look at blanket or portfolio loans as well.  Traditional lines will base off credit as well as property & non-traditional financing will base off the cash flowing property.

Are you looking to invest in turnkey or to renovate?  I know alot of people will encourage to leverage & this is a good option, many times you can get 2 properties for what you have cash on hand.  However, there is more to the picture.  

If this is a turnkey property, will you be self-managing or using a Property Management firm.  Those fee's can add up, property taxes, maintenance?  I don't know your position.  Personally, for me that is, I like to do things one at a time.  It takes a little more time, however, I have found Cash is King & I can save some money with turnkey providers buying cash...sometimes they will pay for some of the closing costs too.  Buying one at a time, even though my portfolio grows slower, I am able to get a better handle on everything...tenants, rents, taxes etc.  I can also always refinance it at a later date.

s far as neighborhoods....if you have a great strategy, such as PM etc., I don't see a bad area in KC.  I know some people will argue about the Urban Core, it might be a little rougher, less desirable, however, it has great returns & some of the areas that skirt it isn't that bad.  Kansas City as a whole is a great area to invest in.

rates are much better love theae
